First Career Win at Brockville for Sheppard
BROCKVILLE, ONT – Defending Series Champion Matt Sheppard’s bucket list just got a little shorter as he took his No. 9S Super DIRTcar Series Big Block Modified to the front for an elusive win at Brockville Ontario Speedway. Rival Larry Wight captured the second step of the podium while Mat Williamson finished third. Sheppard has now retaken the Super DIRTcar Series points lead over Williamson, but only by the slightest margins.
Matt Sheppard took this round in the Championship battle after Williamson got the big NAPA Super DIRT Week win at Oswego Speedway. Sheppard willed his Big Block to the front from twelfth to pick up his first Series win of his career at Brockville.
“We’ve had a lot of really good runs here but just never came away with a W,” Sheppard said with a grin. “I can’t think of a better time than tonight. This thing was a rocket ship. We just missed the Billy Whittaker Fast-Time Award, we won our Heat Race, and the track was fast and racy tonight.”
“The Bullring” was tacky with multiple lanes, which made for some incredible racing action throughout the field. Sheppard took full advantage.
“It’s not often you start twelfth and go to the front here at Brockville. There was moisture at the bottom. We kept switching around to a bunch of different lanes,” Sheppard described.
Now the Championship points are practically a dead heat with Sheppard holding a slight lead.
“Mat has been good here especially as of late. We’re not going to go down without a fight. We’ll check Brockville off the bucket list and go on to Charlotte.”
In second was Larry Wight with his familiar crimson red Gypsum Racing Big Block Modified. He started in the second row and never fell out of the top three. Wight looked fast but described a struggle with the track and his race car.
“I was in survival mode. We’ll take the second place rather than wrecking the car trying to catch Sheppard,” Wight said.
With the season winding down, we are winding up for the Can-Am World Finals and Wight is ready.
“We are going into the big races with extra points. We gotta gather up everything we can and try to finish off the year on as high a note as we can.”
Mat Williamson finished third and lost the points lead but it’s far from over.
“That was a battle out there. That was probably the toughest race car I’ve ever gotten to a finish. It was tough and I’m just happy to get up on the podium.”
Willamson noted his concern for Rudolph who was involved in a hard wreck in turn one during the Feature. He walked away. “That was a violent flip,” said Williamson.
Jack Lehner, who is running his first full-time season with the Super DIRTcar Series, put in a great Time Trial, took second in his Heat Race, and drew the pole for the 100-lap Feature. Lehner lead past the halfway point but Matt Sheppard jumped him on a restart to grab the lead. Lehner finished fifth which is his best Series finish.
The KSE Hard Charger for the race was Mario Clair who advanced fifteen positions to finish ninth. He used all available racing lanes to get the job done.
Next up is the Can-Am World Finals where Matt Sheppard and Mat Williamson will settle their duel for the 2019 Super DIRTcar Series Championship.

DIRTcar Track Spotlight: Brockville Ontario Speedway
CONCORD, NC – 2019 marks the fiftieth year of operation for The Bullring, Brockville Ontario Speedway. The Eastern Ontario DIRTcar sanctioned race track features Hoosier Racing Tire Weekly Championship DIRTcar 358 Modifieds and DIRTcar Sportsman Modifieds. The Loud & Dirty Northeast Fall Nationals October 18-19, 2019 serves as the Championship finale for three DIRTcar Northeast Series: 358 Modifieds, Sportsman Modifieds, and Pro Stocks. This unique, high-stakes event should be on every race fan’s calendar.
Last year Brockville’s DIRTcar 358 Modified Track Champion was the legendary veteran, Danny O’Brien. He and his No. 17D visited the BOS Victory Lane six times in 2018 en route to the Track Championship. Sadly for his fans, O’Brien is hanging up the helmet and will be a spectator. All eyes will be on Ryan Arbuthnot, Kyle Dingwall, and Luke Whitteker to carry the DIRTcar 358 Modified torch in 2019. Also, just announced, Mike Maresca, in his black and orange No. 7x, will race for the 358 Modified Championship at Brockville this year.
DIRTcar Sportsman Modified driver Ryan Scott showed speed and consistency wins Championships at The Bullring. He took home three checkered flags, while runner-up Johnathon Ferguson snagged four. It was an extremely tight battle all season as Tristan Draper rounded out the podium despite tallying three wins for himself. Draper is making the jump to the 358 Modified ranks this year, showing how well the DIRTcar Northeast ladder system works. 2019 promises another exceptional season of Hoosier Racing Tire Weekly Championship DIRTcar Sportsman Modified action.
The most highly anticipated event at Brockville Ontario Speedway is the Loud & Dirty Northeast Fall Nationals, which takes place October 18-19, 2019. All four DIRTcar Northeast divisions will be coming off the excitement of NAPA Super DIRT Week XLVIII, and for the 358 Modifieds, Sportsman Modifieds, and Pro Stocks Brockville, it’s is the last race of the season as the Series Championships will be decided. On Friday, October 18, the Super DIRTcar Series headlines the show with their second to last race of the season, with the World Finals presented by CAN-AM hosting the final rounds of the season.
The DIRTcar 358 Series finale at Brockville on Saturday, October 19 is a $10,000 to win 100-lap Bullringer.
Making a trip for the races at Brockville Ontario Speedway is perfect family fun, and there is plenty to do and places to stay in the region. One of the most popular attractions is the Aquatarium, a 33,000+ square foot climate-controlled aquarium and discovery center on the shores of the St. Lawrence River. Another great stop is The National Air Force Museum of Canada. The museum has over thirty vintage aircraft on site, including the famous World War II fighter, the Hawker Hurricane.
Whether you are a long-time weekly fan of Brockville, or it’s your first time, there is plenty of DIRTcar action to look forward to in 2019!
